My second book on Lyme Disease and other diseases transmitted by deer ticks in North America and Eurasia (Lyme Disease: Why It’s Spreading, How It Makes You Sick, and What To Do About It) is on the Spring 2015 list of Johns Hopkins University Press. It is available for order as hardback or paperback from the publisher (www.press.jhu.edu) as well as Amazon, Barnes and Noble, and other bookstores.

The NIH-supported Pacific-Southwest Regional Center of Excellence for Biodefense and Emerging Infections, of which I was the director and Principal Investigator , was active from 2005 through the Spring of 2015. The Center terminated April 30, 2015.
